Applying to graduate school takes about 200 hours to research programs, prepare for tests, write statements, and submit applications. The A2GS 12-Week Timeline breaks this into manageable steps so you spend about 15–20 hours per week. Each week has a focus, from narrowing your program list to drafting essays and requesting recommendations. By the end, you’ll have strong applications ready for submission.
